GentIemen's Hats in England.
nOndOn Cor BOSTON Rl1lIatin

Gentlemen do not in London think of get
ting a new hat every year. Every gentle
man must own a high hat; yet it is by no
means necessary that it should be new or
stylish-in fact, to wear a hat that had age
on it seemed to me with the Londoner to be
an evidence of his we'll assured position as
substantial gentleman. carry" out for
half holiday might wear new and shining
hat for which he paid his shilIings; but my
Lord Greystones would pass him on his cob
wearing an immensely tall and immensely
heavy hat-that might be several years old
and good for the gentleman for another
term.

THE PEOPLE Do HELP.

"One OF the best informed railroad men
in the south said yesterday that the peo-
pie in every county in Texas should at
once organize immigration societies and
have prepared printed matter setting
forth the advantages and resources of the
counties, that this matter should be
mailed by the citizens of the counties TO
friends in the other and older states, and
the balance given to the Texas voads for
distribution. The people of Texas must,
be says, demonstrate to the railroads that
they will use printers ink to induce i'm
migration and thus help the railroad
companies. Dallas, Greenville, Paris,
Sherman, Honey Grove, Bonhsm, Gsiues-
vile, Denton, Fort Worth, Waco, Westh-
erford, Decatur, Henrietts, Wichita Falls,
Bolton, Temple, Houston, San Antonio,
Galveston, Terrell, Austin, BRENNAN, Ell
Paso, Abilene, Cisco, Colorado City and
every village, town, CITY and county in
Texas, are, he says, equally interested in
this matter" This paragraph appeared
In THE GAzETTE's railroad columns
Thursday. Of course the people should
help; but the people have helped, and
their efforts have been neutralized bv
cheap rates to other states. The people
OF Fort Worth, through the Merchants
and Manufacturers Bureau, have
spent thousands of dollars sd
vertisiDg this city and this
state, from Boston to Kansas City, and
have attracted many prospectors hitler,
despite chesp rates to other states. Had
this effort of Fort Worth alone been
supplemented by such rates as California
is getting and by suen rates as Kansas
Wss settled up, the whole of North Texas
would have felt the impetus given by
Fort Worth work. And other conmuni-
ties have been equally active; but what
do such Efforts avail in the face of such
cheap rates made to other states?
The people of Texas could do more
than they are doing, and they would do
more with the proper encouragement

DEFECTS NOT FATAL.

There does not appear to be much
probability thai any serious defects will
ne discovered in the capitol building at
Austin. The architects have submitted
no formal report but enough has been in
dicated By the dispatches to show that
the crack in the wall complained of, while
really existing, amounts to little or moth
! ing, and can be remedied by simple
three quarters of an inch out of plumb
is not to the credit of the contractor, and
he superintendent who permitted it,
while being paid by the state to prevent
defects of this character, is surely cen
surable; and his failure to make the dis
coVery gives force to the assertion that
the law has not been observed and COM
piled with in the selection of a superiu-
teudent. Three quarters of an inch, how
ever, is practically nothing. The famous
tower of Pisa, or Leaning Tower, 179 or
$50 feet IN height, leans thirteen or four
teen feet out of perpendicular, and it's
safety has never been questioned on that
account. It was purposely "built that
way" and it may be that the capitol con-
tractor wished TO indulge in the luxury of
initiating the great Wilhelm OF Innsbruck,
who designed the Leaning Tower, to the
extent of three quarters of an inch; be-
HeviGg that If his sin against perpendicu-
larity and the specifications was dis
covered, it would be condoned by q
generous public on the ground, that like
the erring girls in Midshipman Easy, it
"was such little one" However this
may be. it is not likely to make much
difference. 1t is true that pillar of
solid masonry, 80 feet in height, such SIS
this, which is to DE surmounted by
dome OF many tons in weight, ought
to be absolutely perpendicular in order |
to enhance its safety, but the
slight variation in this case is so near the |
desired perfection as to amount pracsi- |
cally to the same thing. It might not be |
q bad idea to increase the numerous |
changes which have already taken place
in the construction of that edifce by an
additional change which would place the
SUPPLEMENTARY Of the building in the
hands of competent architect, as the
law directs. It is unjust and impolitic
to pay skilled artists for services which
are already paid for to another.

made up the week in nearly gil speculative

ners abound, aud artificial advances are
forced by powerful cliques, aided bv an
abundance of money, but the prices
check legitimate business, industries ere

many points results in slow collections
and some failures. At Denver collections
are fair, and money has increased, with s
sharp demand. At Kansas CITY cnI,ec
tons are dull and money is close. At
Milwaukee the demand is urgent.
the market IS stringent, and collections
are backward. At Chicago speculative
demands are increasing, and meanwhile
calls from the country do not abate. At
Detrolt business is quiet and the grain
trade Is requiring less money than usual,
nut though money is easier rates are from

THE first impression made on every

unfavorable one. As long as there was

now that the law has decided what is
just and right, there is no excuse for the
lower half of Fort Worth to be given
over to shanties. Every interest in the

JAMES PARTON discusses "The Issue OF
Next Year," to which the N " York Star
thus sensioIY alludes: "Mr. Parton's
great bugbear is officeholdiDg. In some
mysterious and indefuable way he would
eliminate the 10000 officeholders from
politics, apd he thinks that that would
save the country. What would become OF
the American citizenship or the manhood
of the 1907 900, aud how much such emss-
culated off ;eholders would be worth to
the people he does not tell US. The true
idea about the oficeholder in politics is
that of President Cleveland, that the
remedy for undue official influence is to,
be found in the active participation OF
other citizens, so that the oficeholder
may count in the deliberations of his
party as ore of its counselors, not CT is
'oosses.' This remedy lies with the
citizens themselves, and when business
and professional men, workmen and
middlemen take their proper part in party
management, then the bugbear of the
ofticeholder as political tryant will dis
appear" The remarks of the Star have
general and particular application. The
men in every community who rail at
politics and politicians are the men who
neglect their own political duty.
